It was from building my parent's home while I was in high school that I got my first taste of construction. From digging the basement and pouring the walls to painting the finished interior, the pride was in knowing that it was our work from start to finish, borne from our own hands.

In 2012 I began my career in sales at CEPI in the Illinois branch office. Recently my family and I embarked on a new adventure when an opportunity opened up to relocate to Phoenix, AZ to run the West Regional Office, where I look forward to providing to the Southwest territory the exemplary service that CEPI is known for.

I believe what makes me effective in my role as Branch Manager is my desire to meet new people, both so we can work together to better understand particular needs in the way of service and parts, but also because I get great satisfaction from learning about our partners and where they came from.

Born and raised in the Midwest I'm a proud husband and father, in addition to being an avid golfer and amateur mixologist. Beyond that I also relish my time hunting, fishing, playing a round of golf and watching basketball

Phoenix is where I was born and raised. My passions for my sports teams, the Suns and the Cardinals run deep and have for my whole life. Outside of sports, I enjoy Gaming on my PS5, hanging out with my friends and trying new foods. 

As a former delivery driver at an automotive business, I understand the importance of customer service and getting correct parts to the customers as quickly as possible.  Having this understanding has helped me to fit in to the CEPI culture in Phoenix.
